The Best Cafes in Perth’s CBD

Tiisch

Tiisch is another popular cafe in Perth’s CBD. An OG spot for the Hay Street regulars, you can expect an exciting and diverse menu with offerings like avocado toast with house zucchini bread, smoked salmon eggs benedict, gnocchi alla Norma, brioche French toast and a superfood salad. Everything is seasonal, fresh and tasty. 

9b/938 Hay Street, Perth

Telegram Coffee

The locals have dubbed Telegram Coffee a well-oiled machine thanks to its delicious coffee, speedy service, and chilled atmosphere. Located in the stunning historical State building, the setting serves as a tranquil escape from the bustling city. As the team tout, ‘order a coffee and stay for a chat.’ Oh, and did we mention that they source and roast all of their own coffee? No wonder it tastes so good! 

496-497 Wellington Street, Perth

Little Soho Coffee

Little Soho Coffee is fast becoming a Perth CBD staple thanks to its New York-inspired vibe. Whether you want to bunker down and smash out some work or chat with the staff, you can graze on small bites like a prosciutto bagel, a caramel slice, or banana bread and wash it all down with their top-shelf coffee.

The Best Cafes in Perth

Folk and Merchant

You’ll find excellent coffee, beautiful, fresh baked goods and some incredibly tempting breakfast and lunch options at Folk and Merchant—the Doubleview crowd’s go-to spot to sip in the sunshine. Sit in one of the cosy booths inside or soak up the rays in the gorgeous alfresco courtyard and let the kids burn some energy in the cubby house play area. Be sure to grab a loaf of fresh sourdough on the way out. 

4/243 Herbert Street, Doubleview

The Little Bay 

Bathed in natural light and brimming with coastal charm, The Little Bay at Waterman’s Bay is as inviting as a cafe gets. Situated right across from the sand, this sun-soaked gem is a true delight. The coffee is top-notch, with a dedicated coffee window for those busier moments, and the menu? It’s so good that choosing just one dish is a real challenge.

33 West Coast Drive, Watermans Bay

Good Things 

This Fremantle cafe is all Good Things! This light-filled, friendly spot is one of our all-time favourites, for the fluffiest diner-style and seasonal buttermilk hotcakes, the creamiest coffee, and some of the best egg dishes in town.

16 Bannister Street, Fremantle

Satchmo Cafe

You can almost hear the distinct New York accents in the distance when ordering from the Jewish menu at Satchmo Cafe. Matzo ball chicken soup, knish, and bagels sit alongside New Orleans classics like Louisiana gumbo and the Buffalo fried chicken sandwich. The blintzes, the hoagies, the key lime pie—mon dieu! This beatnik haven (like a Twin Peaks fever dream) serves breakfast all day and comes alive on Sunday mornings with live blues and jazz. Inspired by Louis Armstrong, the cafe brings a soulful touch of New Orleans charm to Perth.

Shop 1, 400 Fitzgerald Street, North Perth 

Soho Lane

Serving all-day brunch and coffee by Micrology Coffee Roasters and inspired by New York City’s funky Soho district, Soho Lane Cafe exudes happy vibes from within its pink décor. On any day of the week, you can get your pastrami fix on rye, diner-style pancakes, chicken and waffles or Turkish eggs. They also offer catering for your next decadent soiree.

Alexander Buildings, 13/649 Beaufort Street, Mt Lawley

Little Rokeby Cafe

This sunny neighbourhood cafe combines a bright and inviting atmosphere with a menu that goes above and beyond, catering to the health-focused as well as those who like to start their day with a plate of pancakes. Whether you’re catching up with friends over brunch, grabbing coffee on the way to work, or simply seeking out a cute spot to unwind, Little Rokeby is a real Subiaco gem.
